Chapter 239 238, Naoki Is Envied by Everyone
Chapter 239 238, Naoki everyone is envious~
A Japanese dog-raising family suddenly developed a strange behavior.
He likes to call his dog "Hachi".
Or I always want to change my dog to another species, such as Akita dog or something.
Nagayama Naoki's hometown in Shizuoka, after Tsuruko came back, he liked to hold Yotaro's cheeks and rock them back and forth.
"Yutaro, why are you not an Akita dog? Why didn't Ni-chan call you Hachiko when I was naming him?"
Naturally, Taro Taro, who cannot speak, cannot refute, but as his age and body size increase, he is now used to pinching his face and licking his head, which were the actions that he was afraid of when he was a child. Instead, he licked a smiling face, and sometimes even licked the saliva from Tsuruko's hands.
Mother Nanako Nagayama couldn't stand it anymore: "Tsuruko, what's wrong with Yutaro? Don't always compare him with other dogs. Puppies also have self-esteem."
After Tsuruko let go, Yotaro followed Nanako Nagayama affectionately, wagging his tail.
What a licker!
"It's just that the movie Ni-chan made is too popular~" Tsuruko Nagayama pouted, "I was dragged to watch it again today."
"Speaking of which, it's really irresponsible for Ni-chan to go abroad to play even though the movie is currently being released!" Tsuruko's voice trailed off, "How can this be repaired? I'm so enviable!"
"Tsuruko, don't talk about your brother behind his back."
"Hi~" Tsuruko walked into the living room and found a few postcards on the small table, "What are these on the table?"
"It's the postcard that just arrived. It was sent by Naoki." Nagayama Nanako went to the kitchen to work, leaving Tsuruko alone in the living room to watch.
"What~" Tsuruko picked up the postcard and said,
"Is this a beach, this is surfing, and there is a hula dance performance? And this is a volcano park, did you actually see lava?"
Nagayama Tsuruko looked at the scenery and words on the postcard and started to feel sour again~
"If you are envious, just go to college and make money, then you can go and have fun on your own." The mother began to encourage her daughter, "If you are admitted to the University of Tokyo, your father and I will sponsor you to travel abroad!"
"Then it's settled!" Hezi was full of confidence.
The two sons in the family both worked after graduating from high school, but my youngest daughter seems to have good academic talents.
If you really get into a first-class university, you will feel proud!
to be honest,
There is really no movie that can compete with "The Tale of Hachiko" during this period.
Even the film industry has begun to really take Shuyou Pictures, a company that was born just about a year ago, seriously.
Yamamura Toshitaka, the director of Toei Film and Television Business Planning and Sales Department, is even more concerned about this company, because he was "blackmailed" not long ago, and many people in the company saw his joke.
"Nakano-kun, have you gone to see the movie "The Tale of Hachiko"?" Toshitaka Yamamura asked his assistant Toru Nakano, "How did it feel?"
As someone from the planning department of a film production company, I naturally have to pay attention to newly released movies.
"It is indeed a good movie." Toru Nakano objectively commented on the movie, "The relationship between humans and animals is very sincere and touching, and this shooting technique is also very unique. Maybe we can try more animal-related movies in the future. "
"I remember that Shuyou Pictures' first film was a strange pseudo-documentary horror film, right?" Yamamura Toshitaka thought about it, "And the last comedy film was also unique and unique in its shooting techniques?"
"No, there was a very famous TV show "Wonderful Stories of the World" before. Although they were short stories, they were also very unique short films." Toru Nakano nodded, "The director of Shuyu Pictures is very innovative. "
"No, I have heard of director Shuichi Itou. He is just a mediocre person who has been making old-fashioned commercials for more than ten years." Yamamura Toshitaka retorted, "Innovation again and again is definitely not this guy's ability. There must be someone behind him. personal."
"You had a drink with their minister last time, right? How did that guy feel?"
Tohru Nakano recalled the time when he was drunk but did not take any advantage: "He is a very experienced old fox, and he seems to have something to do with the Kadokawa Group."
"So, it's not him?" Yamamura Toshitaka thought for a moment, "Director, capital...then there is another person responsible for 'creativity', is it the screenwriter?"
"Naoki Nagayama is definitely the composer. He has many famous songs." Toru Nakano continued, "However, he is only in his 20s, so he is too young."
"It doesn't matter if you are young, creativity is sufficient when you are young."
Toshitaka Yamamura told Tohru Nakano, "Since he is the screenwriter, you should contact him and see if we can entrust him to write the script."
"Huh? Is this okay?" Toru Nakano was a little puzzled, "We are not the same as Shuyou Movies."
"It's not a big deal." Yamamura Toshitaka has been in the film industry for most of his life, and he has even seen cooperation after framing his opponent and going to jail.
"Who doesn't like making money?"
"Hey, I understand." Toru Nakano said, "So young and so talented, Naoki Nagayama is really enviable~"
When the movie became a hit, the investors were of course the most concerned. Haruki Kadokawa was also asking Isao Morikawa at this time.
"Mr. Morikawa, is it really possible for "The Tale of Hachiko" to break the record?"
"Hi, the total box office is about to break through 2 billion, and the growth trend is very good."
Currently acting as the agent for the film distribution business of Shuyou Film, Kadokawa Film is most familiar with the box office situation of the film, "This is a movie that can be watched repeatedly."
This means that there will be a market for a long time in the future, and it can be re-released after three to five years to make money again.
"Naoki-san is really amazing." Kadokawa Haruki naturally knows the real core of Shuyou Film, "How is Shimizu-kun's work at Shuyou Film?"
"Hi, after Shimizu-san transferred to Shuyou Film, he has begun to plan the next new movie, and we have also prepared a suitable script."
"That's good, we will also invest in it at that time to increase Kadokawa's share in Shuyou Film."
Although Kadokawa holds 25% of Shuyou Film's shares, one high-grossing movie after another makes Kadokawa Film a little anxious. What's the use of a simple share? Isn't it just a hollow thing?
The distribution business is not very safe. There are so many distributors in Japan, and the profit sharing in the industry is also customary. It is not difficult to change one.
Shuyou Film has already felt like a cash cow, so it must be tied firmly to Kadokawa in the future.
Kadokawa Haruki continued to ask: "What are Shuichi-san, Otomo-san, and Naoki-san doing recently? Are they still promoting the movie?"
"Well, Director Idou is participating in promotional activities everywhere, and Director Yoshimura is mainly busy with the record work of the agency's idols."
"What about Naoki-san? Is he planning the next movie?"
"Naoki Nagayama. He went out to travel." Isao Morikawa's tone was a little subtle, as if mixed with envy, "He went to Hawaii for vacation for almost half a month."
Kadokawa Haruki was surprised for a moment, then laughed: "Hahaha, Naoki-san is really leisurely, and his life is more comfortable than me, the president of Kadokawa."
The rapid rise of a song on the Japanese music trust chart attracted the attention of the media.
After the news of "Girl A" being banned before fermented, it really attracted the interest of a large number of teenagers.
They are at the most rebellious age. The more forbidden things they want to know, the more they want to try things that are not allowed.
By word of mouth, this record quickly became popular among young people. It became popular among the teenagers, and the sales volume rose to more than 200,000 copies.
In the office of Akina's publicity department,
Shimada Yuzo took the latest feedback of the sales data of "Girl A" and showed a happy expression on his face.
He immediately stood up and walked to Terabayashi Chao's office with the data.
After a knock on the door: "Please come in."
"Chief Terabayashi!" Shimada Yuzo raised his tone and handed over the data sheet, "The sales volume of "Girl A" has begun to rise!"
"Oh?" Terabayashi Chao took the data and looked at it, and his expression relaxed, "It seems that the upward trend is very good."
"Hey, Chief, I'm thinking, should I increase investment now?"
"You mean?"
"Yes, contact the TV station to increase exposure; contact the media to increase news exposure." Shimada Yuzo said confidently, "Akina-chan has reached the critical moment of quantitative change to qualitative change."
Terabayashi Chao nodded, it is indeed time to start a strong push.
In the evening, Terabayashi Chao convened a meeting for the entire department and called Akina over.
First, he introduced the basic situation, and then arranged the next work.
"Mina-san, the popularity of "Girl A" has shown a good trend. I hope everyone can work harder for the next promotion!" Then he said to Akina Nakamori who was attending the meeting, "Akina-chan, the next period of time is a very important promotion period. It may be even busier. Be mentally prepared."
How can you be busy when you are already working overtime every day?
Akina Nakamori complained in her heart, but she still answered honestly:
"Hey, I will do my best!"
Actually, Akina didn't like the song "Girl A" very much, but as a new idol, after arguing with producer Shimada Yuzo several times and even causing conflicts, she had to force herself to go to the recording studio to record the album.
Now, if the sales of this song are getting better and better, Shimada Yuzo must be very proud.
The manager Okawa Yasushi drove the artist to the apartment. He saw Akina frowning in the rearview mirror. She was in a bad mood and looked a little strange.
"Akina-chan, is there any problem with the meeting arrangement?"
"Eh? Ah, nothing." Realizing that her expression management was wrong again, Akina immediately changed back to an artist face, "I'm just thinking, if "Girl A" sells well, will the image in the future be adjusted to a rebellious path?"
"Rebellious idol?" Okawa Yasushi thought for a while, "It sounds interesting too!"
Seeing that her manager was also very supportive, Akina Nakamori was a little speechless. She didn't want this to happen.
She made up her mind that the next song must be a positive song. Naoki-san's "Second Love" is very good!
By the way, Naoki-san seems to be traveling now~
Hawaii, so envious
Naoki Nagayama was at Hamoa Beach on Maui Island at this time, with Takao Ozaki and three American friends who had just met, one man and two women.
They are all young people, and those who can go to Hawaii for vacation in this era are all rich and free. What they lack is not money, but fun.
Originally, this group of people wanted to experience the Hana Highway, a coastal highway known as one of the most beautiful highways in the world.
But after arriving in Hana Town, they still had to see the famous Hamoa Beach first.
The crescent-shaped water surface is sparkling, the fine white sand and the clear blue water make people want to lie quietly on the beach and enjoy the sea breeze. If he hadn't brought a surfboard, Naoki Nagayama really wanted to surf here.
So he had to try snorkeling in the bay with Takao Ozaki, wearing a periscope.
And Henry, Vivian, and Louise, the three Americans, were lying on the beach to sunbathe until their skin was all sunburned, and they refused to go under the awning.
They spent the whole morning exploring this top-ranked beach bay in the United States, and also had a seafood feast here at noon. Several people rented two cars in the afternoon and began to experience the Hana Highway praised by too many people.
At this time, the Hana Highway was not as well-known as it will be in the future. There are 600 bends and more than 50 bridges. Most places along the route do not have many artificial traces, but the surrounding pristine natural scenery is indeed very good.
Driving along the Hana Highway, there is a charming Pacific Ocean view on the left, and you will pass many beaches along the way, each with different scenery, and on the right you will encounter many waterfalls, pools, and dense tropical rainforests.
"Henry, stop here!" Naoki Nagayama stopped at a bend and said to the car behind, "I found an interesting place~"
The famous Twin Falls in later generations looked like a small pool in the mountains at this time, but the small waterfall divided into two and the clear pool below still attracted the interest of several people.
The three Americans full of free spirit took off their coats and ran to the pool to swim.
"William, take a few photos for us~" Henry in the water pointed to the camera on the car and asked Naoki Nagayama to help take a few photos. "Such a beautiful natural scenery, why don't you get off?"
Naoki Nagayama complained in his heart: "I just want to take a few photos and check in, who knows you will go directly into the water."
This is an undeveloped primitive scenery. The pool looks clear, but who knows what is in it, parasites, animal carcasses, feces.
"I don't like driving with a wet body." Naoki Nagayama made up an excuse and took photos of the other people. After playing for a while, he set off again.
The tropical scenery along the Hana Highway is unforgettable.
The lush tropical rainforest, the rugged rocks and the wild waterfalls hidden in between, and the occasional colorful birds flying between the branches, and stopping on the treetops to watch the tourists taking pictures,
The natural tropical fruits in the small shops on both sides of the road are also very sweet and delicious.
As the sun gets lower and lower, the scenery along the way has also changed. The black volcanic cliffs look a bit rugged, and the waves on the cliffs seem to be surging.
And in the evening, the blue ocean, red clouds, and golden sunset in the distance on the sea level are blending together, and the sky above is actually the starry sky under the night sky.
All of this makes people feel the vastness and wonder of nature.
I envy those who don’t have to go to work tomorrow and can travel around
